British Tanks Charge Invaders, Inflict Losses
LONDON, March 4—(U.P.) —British tanks thrown into the defense of lower Burma have charged the Japanese line on the Sittang river front northeast of Rangoon and inflicted considerable casualties in enemy ranks, an Imperial communique radioed to London said tonight.
Imperial forces holding fast on
the Sittang line for more than a
week were reported officially to
have skirmished with the Japanese invaders in the area northeast of Pegu, strategic railway junction on the Mandalay-Rangoon rail link with the Burma road.
TANKS SUPPORT
“Our tanks, supporting infantry units, have been in action and have inflicted casualties,” the communique said.
It revealed that the Japanese air force had gone into action over Burma again after a long lull apparently enforced by British-Am-erican counter-assaults knocking scores of enemy planes out of the skies.
The Royal Air Force and American volunteers nevertheless continued the attacks on enemy transports, particularly staff cars, with a high degree of success.
“Our bombers were attacked by a large force of enemy fighters, of which one was shot down with a loss of one of our aircraft,” the communique said. “Fighter patrols and reconnaisance were continued. Today targets were attacked in close support of our land forces.”
ATTACK FEARED
The renewed activity was interpreted in some military quarters here to mean that the Japanese were priming their war machine for a renewed assault on Rangoon.
The All-India radio, broadcasting Burmese news, concluded by reminding its listeners — especially those in unidentified “vulnerable areas”-—that their personal safety required them to maintain contact with air wardens for necessary instructions in case of further raids.
Odd units of the Japanese have crossed the Sittang north of Pegu, junction of the Burma road feeder railway 40 miles north of Rangoon, but the invaders have “nothing in force” beyond the east bank of the stream.

Pettengill, Carus Talk on Post-war Policies
The committee on planning for postwar peace and restoration will hold its second regular luncheon | tomorrow at 12:10 in the tea room, Dr. J. Eugene Harley, committee chairman, announced yesterday.
Problems of world economics and world trade will be discussed by Dr. Clayton D. Carus and Dr. Robert Pettengill.
said tonight.
Political Commissar Y. L. Kar-obka said at a public lecture that Red army forces were advancing on all fronts, in some sectors exceeding the German invasion pace of June and November, and were “compressing the ring ever tighter around 100,000 Germans trapped at Staraya Russia.”
Already, Karobka said, the Germans have withdrawn their prized panzer units behind the third line on the north-central front, hinged at Smolensk, 240 miles west of Moscow. The fourth line which he said was being erected from Slovakia to the Baltic would put the German defenses in Poland and the Baltic states of Estonia and Latvia.
REDS CRACK LINES
Karobka added that the Russians have cracked the German seige lines around Leningrad at two more vital points and have encircled several other garrisons in their front-wide advance.
(The German 16th army enclosed at Saraya Russia “cannot escape” and is being “methodically annihilated,” said a radio Moscow broadcast heard by United Press in London. Other advices reaching London said that strength of the trapped Germans had been reduced from 90,000 or 100,000 to 60,000).
(A communique broadcast by the Moscow radio tonight said Russian troops recaptured “a number of populated places” today and that 18 German and six Russian planes were destroyed in yesterday’s fighting).
Karobka said the Germans had intended using their third defense line as springboard for a spring offensive probably concentrating in the south, but even though they held advance positions in that area the new retreat to the north would imperil their organization. SUPPLIES COMING
Furthermore, he said the German striking power has been considerably weakened by the winter-long Russian counter-offensive and already the Red army has achieved technical superiority in some arms, notably artillery and automatic sidearms.
“At the same time,” he asserted, “Anglo-American supplies are coming in steady.”
Reliable information from Germany indicates that a communist movement there is growing, Karobka said, citing reports that antiwar leaflets had been circulated recently in Berlin and were “avidly read due to the fact that 60 per cent of the homes have lost someone on the eastern front.”
Japs Claim Pao Killed
TOKYO, Thursday, Mar. 5.— (Japanese broadcast recorded by U.P. in San Francisco)—A Japanese dispatch datelined Peking, China, today said the “refugee commander, General Pao of the Chungking Red troops,” was killed in action Feb. 21 during Japanese cleanup operations.
Dr. Neumeyer to Address YWCA Forum
Lecturer Analyzes Rumor, Propaganda at ‘Y’ House Today
Dr. Martin H. Neumeyer, professor of sociology, will lead a discussion at the YWCA roundtable today at the Y house on the subject, “Can I Believe What I Hear?” in keeping with the theme of the student’s relationship to news, rumor, and propaganda.
This is the third discussion in a weekly series dealing with current problems and will begin at 4 p.m. Dorothy LaFollette, who will present the summary, and Kathleen Gelcher, who will preside, announced that the forum is open to all students and faculty members. ATTITUDE EXPLAINED
In discussing the difficulties of getting at the facts in the news, especially during war times, Dr. Neumeyer admitted yesterday that a great majority of the public desires to hear one-sided reports — especially favorable news. “The mind of the nation must be mobilized no less than its man-power.”
“This is an obvious necessity. A certain amount of censorship is a part of this. Over-zealous promoters of patriotism may overstep the bounds of accuracy. In a democracy, however, any persistent attempt to suppress, twist, or conceal facts that should be known will result inevitably in an impairment of the popular confidence that is the very heart of moraJe.” DIRECTION NEEDED
“A free people,” he continued, “cannot be told what to think but must be given the facts and permitted to do their own thinking. They should, however, consider the sources of all reports, the way reports are written, and any extreme statements.”
If they can do this, Dr. Neumeyer believes there is no reason for their becoming skeptical and believing in nothing.
Dr. Neumeyer will illustrate his topic with examples which have appeared recently in various newspapers. The student’s relationship to the minority groups will be the theme of the fourth discussion in this YWCA series. The topic, “Knowing Our Adopted Americans,” will be presented at the roundtable next Thursday.
British Raid Germany
LONDON, Mar. 4.—(U.P)—British planes raided northwestern Germany last night, in addition to the Paris and invasion coast areas, it was announced today.
Banquet
Scheduled
Trojaneers Honor Players, Guests at Annual Dinner
Members of the 1941 Trojan football squad will be guests of honor at the Trojan club’s annual Father and Son banquet to be held Thursday, Mar. 12, in the Foyer of Town and Gown.
All varsity football men and their fathers have been invited by the Trojan club and the Trojaneers, who have arragned an evening of entertainment.
Head Coach Sam Barry and the netire coaching staff will appear on the program, which also includes Captain Bob de Lauer and the varsity. Talks by Isadore Dockweiler and others connected with sports will be included.
FILMS INCLUDED
Special films, prepared by alumni in the motion picture industry, will provide amusing intervals in the evening’s entertainment. Highlights of Oregon State’s defeat of Duke at the “transplanted” Rose Bowl game will be included in the pictures.
The Barrett and Teche football awards, annual prizes honoring outstanding members of the squad, will be presented at the banquet.
Freshman players Edsel Curry, Dean Dill, John Ferrero, Bill Gibson, Martin Juhnke, Frank Pelta, Leo Riggs, and Winston Shequin have been invited and are requested to notify Miss Patsy Burr, Alumni office, of their acceptance.
RESERVATIONS ASKED
All varsity football men are requested to notify Miss Bufr of their acceptance, in order that reservations may be made for them.
Attempts to obtain the services of Babe Ruth as a guest speaker at the affair have been made, it was learned yesterday. Although the Sultan of Swat had not indicated his acceptance yesterday, it is probable that he will be on hand to add a national twist to the evening’s varied entertainment.
Students interested in attending the banquet, which is to be an informal stag affair, should make reservations at the Alumni office, 402 Student Union.
Lancers to Hear Councilman Today
Trojan non-orgs will meet today at a forum luncheon sponsored by the Lancers in Elisabeth von KleinSmid hall where Roy Hampton, city councilman, will speak on “Local Government.”
A graduate of the SC law school and chafhnan of the city council legislative committee, Hampton has practised law in California for 13 years. He is also a member of the state and county affairs committee. And a member of the harbor committee which considers matters vital to national defense in wartime. He is now serving his third term on the city council.
Forum luncheons and dances have been planned to augment the current program of sports and social events.
Reservations for the luncheon today were to have been made by yesterday in the office of the dean of men or the dean of women. Faculty members are especially welcome to attend the forum, Charles Peterson, chairman, said.
Dr. Knudten is scheduled to speak at the next meeting, Mar. 19. His subject will deal with first-hand information on the political, social, and personal life of Japan. He bases his analysis on 21 years experience that he has had in Japan.
Seventh Term as Three*pointer
It can’t be done! or so it seems to all but Fred Mayer who has just completed seven semesters with a 3-point accumulative average. Mayer, who will graduate in June from the School of Philosophy, has never received a gTade lower than an A and bears the distinction of having the highest average in school.
As a sophomore he won the Phi Beta Kappa essay contest. He has just finished a thesis on the life of Shopenhauer. Mayer plans to take graduate work in philosophy and to act as a teach ing assistant. His ultimate goal is to be a university professor. When asked if he ever received a grade lower than an A he modestly admitted that he once got 87 on a quiz.
